I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Strange, this had never happened before in the game. Sun Yang was extremely alert, following the direction of the cloth while constantly scouting its location from a distance.

After walking for about half an hour and killing a few zombie soldiers on the way, Sun Yang saw a small, hidden valley. When he walked to the entrance of the valley and looked inside, he suddenly found a campfire.

Perhaps it was a mark left by a traveler who had traveled there before. Sun Yang was grateful to this strange friend from the bottom of his heart.

Sun Yang lit a campfire and sat down. The flames immediately healed his body. But at the same time, the surrounding scenery suddenly became blurry, and then returned to calm. When Sun Yang looked up again, the strips of cloth were still swaying in the wind.

Rumi didn't have this problem, which probably meant the environment was relatively stable. Sun Yang relaxed his shoulders and stepped into the forest again. This time, he wanted to fight for a long time and work hard to accumulate souls and level up!

Sun Yang was thinking, as he just turned the corner and walked out of the valley, he saw a hippopotamus strolling nearby. Unfortunately, the hippopotamus just turned its head to look in Sun Yang's direction.

"..." Sun Yang ran towards the campfire. Behind him was a hippopotamus, whose steps were so strong that the ground was shaking slightly.

This is such bad luck! Hurry! Let's get to the campfire and get rid of this thing!

Sun Yang rushed straight to the campfire, with the hippopotamus chasing him closely. But Sun Yang was one step faster. The moment he touched the campfire, the image of honey immediately flashed through his mind.

"Whoosh!" Sun Yang's body disappeared in front of the campfire in an instant, and the hippopotamus missed him. After standing there for a while, he went straight back.

"Ha! Ha!" When Sun Yang opened his eyes again, the midday sun was shining like honey, and the girl in green robe was sitting beside him in a daze.

It was as peaceful as ever. However, there were still no other travelers to be seen. Seeing the panicked Sun Yang, the green-robed girl still looked relaxed.

"I've really dodged a disaster, but it's time to practice my fighting skills... Are there really other adventurers or travelers here? I can't even find anyone I want to learn some fighting skills from." Sun Yang was just looking for a topic, otherwise it would be a bit awkward for two people to pretend not to know each other.

"Yes." The girl in green robe pointed to the side.

He was a middle-aged man in metal armor, no helmet, looking energetic. He held a two-handed giant sword in his hand and an iron shield on his back. He was serious and focused on practicing swordsmanship. He stopped training when he noticed Sun Yang.

"A new undead? Or a follower of the Ancient Dragon Academy?" The middle-aged man's brows relaxed a little.

"I'm probably from the Ancient Dragon Academy, I don't have any memories of that. Hello sir, my name is Sun Yang."

"When has the Ancient Dragon Academy ever accepted an Oriental... Well, forget it, you don't remember. I am a wandering knight named Gulenkel. If you want to go to Hyde, I have marked there and can provide you with help." Gulenkel didn't care too much about his origins.

Sun Yang still has some impression of this name. He is one of the NPCs that can be summoned during the game.

Dark Souls 2 is famous for having a large number of summonable NPCs. There is no problem hanging the Soul of Group Fight and the Soul of Brotherhood on Dark Souls . Many BOSS doors can pull two people, and as many as three.

If you think about it carefully, although no other travelers visit Ru Mi in the game, in fact, travelers always need a place to rest and replenish supplies. Although Ru Mi is shabby, it is at least popular.

"There are even new merchants and blacksmiths. I thought we would only see cats, Green Church believers and Green Robe pilgrims from now on. There used to be a dozen people gathering here, but most of them haven't been back for a long time. By the way, you said you wanted to learn combat skills, right?" Gullenkol was quite sad.

The girl in green robe didn't say anything, but just lay on the rock and looked at the sky.

"Yes. To be honest, I don't even have basic combat experience..." Sun Yang quickly got up. It looked like there was hope.

"It's amazing that you managed to make it all the way to Rumi. I'm planning to rest for a few days before setting off again. I'll teach you some basic combat knowledge. How much you can absorb depends on your ability. I'll only teach you for two days. Also, you have to give me a thousand souls as a reward. It's noon now, and I'll teach you until noon the day after tomorrow."

It's like a pillow is thrown to you when you're sleepy! Sun Yang didn't hesitate and directly transferred 1000 souls to Gulenkel, then picked up his hammer and spear and stood aside.

"Are you really going to use actual combat weapons? I guarantee you'll turn into a zombie very quickly." Grenkel rolled his eyes, reached into the campfire, and took out several wooden weapons.

"These are for training. It usually takes several months of training to train a qualified warrior, but I don't have the time, and I'm not that kind of person. So I will train you very hard, so be mentally prepared for me."

"I understand, but you can store things in a campfire..."

"Just focus your consciousness on the campfire. It's amazing, isn't it? Everyone only gets what they've stored. Maybe it's because the undead are connected to the campfire. Okay, enough nonsense, pick up your weapons and start fighting."

Sun Yang quickly touched the campfire, threw all the items on his body, such as the Holy Bell Drop Stone, into it, clapped his hands, and walked to a nearby open area with his iron shield and wooden weapons. Gulenkel was already holding his weapon and ready.

For some reason, Sun Yang felt that Gulenkel seemed a little excited and excited.

"Okay, we are all undead, so I will attack your vital points seriously. You have to block or dodge, or you can take it head-on. I will be careful not to beat you to death. If you are about to die, drink the element bottle or go to the campfire to rest." Gulenkel explained the rules and moved his wrist.

"But you need to prepare a set of protective gear as soon as possible. Your clothes are fine, but they don't protect your limbs and head at all. So let's start with the hammer and spear! I'll demonstrate the moves first, and then we'll get straight into the actual combat."

Gulenkel explained in detail the key points and precautions of the movements, such as the use of footwork and muscle strength. Although Sun Yang tried his best to remember them, he was still confused.

But Grenkel didn't intend to give Sun Yang time to think. He quickly swung his wooden one-handed hammer at him. Grenkel's movements were refined, his steps deliberate. Sun Yang could only block the first few blows with his shield before being struck in the jaw by a club.

Dull pain! Sun Yang felt like his jaw was broken, and he felt dizzy, but at least the pain was still bearable and he didn't faint.

"Drink the element bottle. No, you have to drink it while dodging. In actual combat, no one will watch you drink it! If you can't dodge, you will have to keep getting beaten, or find a way to force the opponent to retreat." Gulenkel continued to beat Sun Yang, forcing Sun Yang to get used to the rhythm of the battle between the undead.

Fortunately, the undead were strong enough to recover from serious injuries by drinking from the elemental bottle. However, Sun Yang's elemental bottle had a limited capacity, so he had to sit by the campfire every few minutes before continuing to fight.

After fighting for half an hour, Sun Yang simply took out the Holy Bell and put it aside. When he was beaten to the point of being unable to move, he would shake the Holy Bell to heal himself.

By the afternoon, Sun Yang was still gritting his teeth as Gulenkel beat him mercilessly. The people around him had been listening to Sun Yang's screams all afternoon, but they didn't know how long it would last.

After Sun Yang's hips were smashed by the wooden hammer again and he fell to the ground, and then was hit in the face again, he lay on his back and saw Brother Dispirited walking down from near the stone tablet.

"Isn't this Sodan? Don't look at me like that. I won't kill him. I will be careful when I do it." Seeing that Sun Yang couldn't get up for the time being, Gulenkel also breathed a sigh of relief, put down his hammer and spear, and rested for a while.

"Don't be shy with me." Brother Huixin found a stone to sit on. He had an ordinary sword and shield on him, as if to avoid some accidents.

Sun Yang didn't have the energy to yell anymore. He lay on the ground, shaking the holy bell in his hand, but he only felt a sharp pain in his head. He had to drink from the elemental bottle to ease the pain. After his bones had almost healed, Sun Yang went to sit by the campfire.

"What do you think of this new guy?" Sodan asked casually.

"Average. He seems a bit smart, but only average. His willpower is pretty good, but it could be that his physical senses are rather dull," Grenkel commented mercilessly. "He'll have no problem defeating even the lowest-level wandering spirits, but he'll definitely die against a slightly stronger foe."

"That's why I want to learn combat techniques, otherwise I won't be able to move forward." Sun Yang stood up from the campfire and immediately jumped in front of Gulenkel.

Whoosh—the campfire flickered again, and a thin man dressed as an assassin appeared, with grappling weapons in both hands.

"Lei is back too. It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time." Gulenkel waved to the other party. The man named Lei nodded slightly, then looked at Sun Yang, who was wearing the robe of Gulong Academy, and tilted his head.

"Newcomer." Gulenkel pointed at Sun Yang, who was a little angry after being beaten. He took the opportunity to swing the wooden hammer and launched a surprise attack.

Bang! Grenkel easily blocked Sun Yang's blow and knocked him to the ground in a few seconds. "That's too big a step. You have to be steady no matter what. Do you understand steady? It's okay. You'll know what steady means when you get hit more often."

"Why do I feel like I'm always being beaten?" Sun Yang finally couldn't help but complain.

"All the fighting techniques I teach prioritize self-protection over defeating the enemy. While an undead body can ignore wounds and continue fighting, carelessness in defense will surely cost you your life. What? You can't fight anymore?"

"Go on!" Sun Yang healed his body miraculously and turned over and got up.

"Very good, full of fighting spirit." Gullenkel said, then rushed towards Sun Yang with a wooden hammer and shield. He sprinkled a handful of dirt in Sun Yang's cautious eyes, and kicked Sun Yang on the exposed knee while he used the shield to block the dirt, and then knocked Sun Yang down with a few more hammers.

Lei, dressed in assassin's attire, pulled out binoculars and peered in, unsure what he was looking at. Sun Yang was brutally beaten for seven or eight hours right before the eyes of the bored Rumi residents. The fighting lasted from daybreak until sunset, when both sides could no longer see each other.

However, as he was constantly beaten, Sun Yang gradually discovered what he should pay attention to when defending, and from what angle it would be more appropriate to attack.

Gulenkel is a soldier who has received formal and systematic training. His defense can be said to be watertight. This has greatly enhanced Sun Yang's defensive awareness, but his offensive awareness is still a little lacking.

"Ugh... my body still hurts..." After sitting by the campfire, Sun Yang rolled around listlessly on the honey-sweet grass.

"I say, are you going to continue?" Gulenkel put away the tattered wooden weapon.

"No, no. Let's meet here tomorrow morning..." After rolling on the grass, Sun Yang walked drowsily towards the house where he lived.

"Oh my... I wonder what you will do when you encounter a dark environment in the future..." Gulenkel said in a pretentious manner.

"I'll rest for a few minutes and then continue, okay?" Sun Yang said hurriedly. He hadn't forgotten that Soul II had many dark environments. Undead vision wasn't particularly special, and it was difficult to see distant objects clearly in low light or even in the dark. If he didn't learn to fight in the dark, he would suffer.

"Ha! Then I'll wait a moment. Come on, Lei, let's summarize the information first..." Gulenkel immediately became excited, as if beating or training newcomers would make him very happy.

Sun Yang needs to rest for a while, mainly because there is a communication request from the Girls' Frontline world. If he doesn't take care of it, something might go wrong.

"Ahem, connect to the communication," Sun Yang said in a deserted place. However, this time, it wasn't just the sound that came through. Instead, a virtual screen appeared before his eyes, just like the AR screens in movies and TV series.

"Ohhh!! Commander!! It's a living Commander!" M14's face was practically glued to the screen. A pair of orange eyes darted back and forth across her fair, delicate face.

"I see! Commander! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" A wave of shouting, like waves, echoed in the background. After a long pause, the voices of several elite T-dolls from the temporary management team began to lecture.

"Commander, why are you dressed so strangely? By the way, Ms. Pascal, how did we suddenly connect? Didn't we set up the holographic communication equipment a long time ago?"

"I don't have any communication equipment here." Sun Yang waved his hand.

"No? Well, I think I can make a bold guess. Professor, have you become stronger today?" A tall woman with long light pink hair and a bunch of mechanical cat ears on her head walked out from the corner of the screen.

She wore a white lab coat, but it couldn't hide her impressive figure. A gray sleeveless sweater restrained her heavy boobs, and a black miniskirt wrapped around her round hips. Beneath the miniskirt were long, slender, and shapely legs clad in black stockings.

"Professor?" Pascal looked at Sun Yang with eyes that were the same color as his hair, revealing a puzzled expression.

"I think it's probably because the commander is a Big O type." M14 said.

"I was just stunned when I saw someone familiar. Let me answer the question first. Remember I said before that my body has become a special existence. It's very magical and can become stronger by absorbing souls. I have indeed become stronger today."

Sun Yang hurriedly tried to smooth things over. After all, Pascal's attitude towards him was still unclear... If she didn't have any special feelings for him, it would be better not to look at him casually at the beginning.

"Although I don't know what it means to use the soul to become stronger, I and the people in the Oasis have done a lot of things and detected your location... The results show that you are inside the Oasis and the Griffin base. But it is obvious that your location is very different from here." Pascal unfolded a drawing, which showed that Sun Yang's location could not be confirmed in the base.

"Then, as we continued to monitor your energy readings, we noticed a steady increase, starting this afternoon. MDR and Miss Carol happened to be passing by and mentioned that you might have developed a condition... that cannot be explained scientifically. So, I think the key to our gradual connection with you is how powerful you can become."

"That is to say, I can now contact you through holographic images, and may be able to do other things later." Sun Yang nodded at the air.

"Yes, that's it. And..." Pascal lowered his head and took out another document, and the M14, which had been quiet just now, suddenly pointed behind Sun Yang.

"Commander! There's someone coming behind you! I hear footsteps!"

Sun Yang looked back and saw the faint sound of footsteps. How could M14 hear the sound through the screen? However, since someone was coming, it was not convenient to talk.

"But Professor, there are still many things to do here..."

"Sorry, I have something to do here. Can you message me in three hours?"

"Three hours is still no problem..." Pascal turned off the communication channel with a bit of disappointment. Just then, Gullenkol came out from the corner of the house.

"Sun Yang, who are you talking to? Is there anyone else with Rumi?" Gulnkel looked around after seeing Sun Yang. "Huh? Are you alone?"

Shit, how can I explain this? Sun Yang scratched his head.

"Well, I was talking to someone just now, but..."

"Ah, I understand. It's okay, Sun Yang, don't dawdle too long." Gulenkel seemed to understand something and stepped back with a strange look on his face.

"Gulenkel, please listen to my explanation first." Sun Yang quickly caught up with Gulenkel.

"There's nothing to explain. You have a friend who is very close to you, and you always whisper to each other. I don't disturb you and I pretend not to see it." Gulenkel waved his hand.

"Ah?" Sun Yang was a little confused by Gulenkel's attitude.

"Ah, what? Take care of your friend. If your friend is upset, go and comfort him. Once you're done, come and practice with me."

"Then there shouldn't be any resentment..." Sun Yang's words of explanation were blocked in his mouth. Then Gulenkel took out his weapon calmly and threw it to Sun Yang, as if nothing had happened just now.

Training at night is different from training during the day. It requires more caution, more careful observation, and more reliance on experience.

Gulenkel said that if possible, you must create a combat environment with light as much as possible. After all, it is really stupid to worry about whether you will be exposed when fighting.

The night training didn't last long. Grenkel only beat Sun Yang for two hours before sending him back. After all, although the undead had extraordinary physical strength, if they didn't rest, their mind and body would definitely collapse.

However, Sun Yang had just packed up and walked a short distance when he heard Gulenkel's low voice. Although he might have thought he was speaking very quietly, Sun Yang's hearing still caught it.

"Alright, listen up. Sun Yang has a problem with his brain. He has an imaginary friend. Next time you see him talking to the air, just pretend you didn't see anything."

"Come to think of it, he was yelling something like 'It's so noisy' while he was sleeping last night. Alas, even after becoming a wandering soul he's still troubled by such things. It's quite pitiful. He's forgotten everything except this." The blacksmith Renigaz also added.

Although Sun Yang had the urge to explain, he thought that the more he explained, the more trouble he would cause. He decided to let the people of Rumi misunderstand him. This way, he would not have to make up lies again.

He returned to the house, wearing nothing but his robe. After hanging the alarm device at the door as usual, he lay down on the wooden bed, resting while waiting for news from Pascal.

05 Let’s be honest, being a commander is not an easy job.

"Speaking of which, can I take the initiative to call the humanoid?" Sun Yang thought, but he had no signal base station or satellite at hand.

I can't just connect with my head, right? But I have to give it a try. Sun Yang closed his eyes, trying to connect with Griffin Base through intuition or something else.

"Ding." The call came in a split second. A virtual screen appeared before Sun Yang. Pascal seemed to be adjusting the position of the camera, which appeared to be located in a large operations conference room.

Sun Yang could see more than a dozen rows of tables and chairs, many of which were occupied by tactical and functional Oasis figures. However, the two sides were clearly divided into two groups, some with similar mind maps. Some sat together, while others were separated.

Most of the people sitting in the front were Griffin's elite T-dolls and Iron Blood high-level T-dolls. AR Squad, 404 Squad, and the Rebellious Squad sat at the front, but RPK16 was tied up with many chains. The ends of the chains were held in AK15's hand.

The atmosphere in the AR team was much more harmonious, but the white-haired M16 had a lot of medical tape-like stuff on his face, probably because he was severely beaten when the team just reunited.

Behind them were the elite humanoids who had undergone mental upgrades and the battle-experienced squads. Sun Yang immediately spotted Makarov's long white hair, and M14 even waved at him. If he were to choose a combat unit, these humanoids would be able to handle all but the most difficult missions.

There wasn't much of a clear division further back; everyone sat randomly based on their social connections and team affiliations. Even the heavy armor team's dolls gathered together at the back to play cards.

"Professor? Didn't you ask us to come to you in three hours? We are still setting up the venue." Pascal turned around and looked at Sun Yang.

"Oh oh oh! Good evening, Commander!" "When will the commander come back!" "Good evening, Professor!" The humanoids were excited again, even the elite humanoids were in an uproar.

"It's amazing that you can still see my face clearly even though it's pitch black here." Sun Yang pressed his hands on his temples. Facing a few people is different from facing hundreds of people, although theoretically everyone present is his acquaintance.

"Ahem, let's not delay any further. Let's get everyone back first." RO stood up from his seat. Pascal nodded and operated the communication equipment in his hand.

"It looks quite organized. Have you assigned the management positions?" Sun Yang noticed that the humanoids did not make a fuss for too long and quieted down after a few seconds.

"Hmm..." Pascal showed a subtle expression, "It's not very good actually."

"To be precise, it's a mess, Master," an agent in a maid outfit walked out from beside the screen. "Things are fine at Oasis Base. The humanoid Pascal has set up an emergency team. Griffin has relied entirely on you, Logistics Officer Greena, and a few human employees."
